Table API overview

The Table API enables you to perform Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations on ServiceNow tables. Each endpoint corresponds to a specific operation and supports both fluent and standard usage patterns.

Commonly used for:

• Retrieving records from tables like incident, change_request, or sys_user.
• Creating new records with specific field values.
• Updating existing records by their unique system ID (sys_id).
• Deleting records when they're no longer needed.

Basic usage

To interact with a table, you start from the ServiceNowServiceClient, access the now namespace, and then specify the table name using Table.

// Access the incident table
incidentTable := client.Now().Table("incident")

// Fetch a list of records
result, err := incidentTable.Get(context.Background(), nil)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

Available operations

The Table API supports the following standard REST operations:

• List Records: Retrieve multiple records from a table with support for filtering, sorting, and pagination.
• Get Record: Retrieve a single record by its sys_id.
• Create Record: Insert a new record into a table.
• Update Record: Modify an existing record by its sys_id.
• Delete Record: Remove a record from a table by its sys_id.
